I have a completed screenplay that now needs to be brought into precise Hollywood-standard format. My draft is solid on story but rough on presentation: scene headings, action blocks, page headers, and other layout details drift from the industry norm. I’m looking for someone who can go through the entire script line-by-line, correct every formatting misstep, and deliver a document that reads and looks like it just rolled off a studio desk.

Scope
• Conform all scene headings (INT./EXT., slug lines, continued, day/night, etc.)
• Tighten action descriptions so spacing, capitalization, and placement follow spec conventions
• Standardize page headers and footers, including CONT’D and page numbering
• Flag any obvious typos you notice along the way; the core task, however, is formatting

Deliverable
• A fully formatted screenplay in Hollywood standard, returned as both an editable file (Final Draft, Celtx, or Fountain—your choice) and a locked PDF ready for sharing

Acceptance
I will spot-check at least three random sections; if they mirror industry exemplars, we’re done. If issues appear, one revision pass is expected.

I am not looking for feedback on story. If there are punctuation, spelling or grammatical errors, I am open to that feedback.

I look forward to hearing from you.
